How it's used
Professional titles in Hong Kong often follow the pattern of adding 師 at the end, similar to 醫師 or 律師. While people sometimes confuse this role with a doctor, it is important to remember that a nutritionist focuses specifically on dietary habits and nutritional intake rather than medical diagnosis or prescribing medication.
